Mr. David Ross
206 Greenlee Circle
Taylorsville, NC 28681
Dear Mr. Ross:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to
fill and excavate in 0.08 acres of wetlands or waters for the purpose of bank stabilization at
Linville, as you described in your application dated December 12, 1997. After reviewing your
application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification
Number 3102. This certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 13 when it is
issued by the Corps of Engineers. In addition, you should get any other federal, state or local
permits before you go ahead with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and
Erosion Control, Coastal Stormwater, Non - Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations.
This approval will expire when the accompanying 404 or CAMA permit expires unless otherwise
specified in the General Certification.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application
except as modified below. If you change your project, you must notify us and you may be
required to send us a new application. If total wetland fills for this project (now or in the future)
exceed one acre, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506
(h) (6) and (7). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached
certification and any additional conditions listed below.
1. Sediment and erosion control measures shall adher^ to the design standards for sensitive
watersheds (T 15A:04B .0024).
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an
adjudicatory hearing. You must act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask
for a hearing, send a written petition which conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina
General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, P.O. Box 27447, Raleigh, N.C. 27611-
7447. This certification and its conditions are final and binding unless you ask for a hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the
Clean Water Act. If you have any questions, please telephone John Domey at 919 - 733 -1786.
Si rely,
P ston Howar, Jr. P.E.
